Скачать или смотреть Erk Pod | Erk Pod Goes To The Beach Part 2

On this episode, Eric takes you to some more of Newcastle's beaches after his experience in the previous episode at Newcastle Ocean Baths, Newcastle Beach, Nobbys Beach & Bar Beach.

On the last episode, we started at the Newcastle Ocean Baths, he walks to Newcastle Beach. Next stop is Nobbys Beach after a miracle parking spot became available.

After Nobbys Beach, Newcastle's car park with the best beach view is next (Bar Beach). The plan was to then head to Dixon Park beach, Merewether beach & Merewether ocean baths but parking was 0/10.

This episode features the beaches south of Bar Beach, namely Dixon Park Beach, Merewether Beach & Merewether Ocean Baths. We visit the Ocean Baths on consecutive days to see what it is like with the ocean baths open & on the next day being closed for cleaning.

Parking this time was better because it was not school holidays time & mid week. Just in case, there are awesome free motorcycle parking spaces near all the beaches!

Recorded on location, Wednesday 19 & Thursday 20 November 2025.

BRIEF HISTORY OF ERK POD & CHANNEL ERK PODCASTS (2007 - 2014) AND VIDEO CONTENT (2016 - PRESENT)

Erk Pod started as an audio podcast, produced in Australia. It started in 2007 focused on the the Australian version the reality TV series called Big Brother. This podcast was called Erk To The Diary Room. After this series was over, episodes became known as Erk Pod. After all, his nickname since primary school was Erk and it was a podcast.

Erk Pod grew it's audience with either solo episodes, interviews or group shows with guests and a co-host. The guests would be either people that Erk or others involved knew personally or other podcasters & online personalities.

Over time, Erk Pod was joined by other spin off shows called Erk FM, Erk FM: Australia, Erk FM International, Erk FM: Metal Monday which were music podcasts based on unsigned & underground artists. They were often obtained from what was called pod safe music or Creative Commons music.

A few years in, Erk's mother joined in to the podcasting space. Blast From The Past became a son/mother inter-generational remembrance & story based talk show. Later, a spin-off music show called Judy's Blast FM hosted by Judy and produced by Erk joined Channel Erk Podcasts.

Due to various issues including changing priorities and the ill health of Judy led to the end of Erk Pod and the other Channel Erk Podcasts ended in 2014.

Since then, Eric became involved in ice hockey but also started to produce video content on YouTube including Simulated Erk (gaming) and A Mountain Of Work (real life transport videos). Against the odds and totally unexpected by the host himself, Erk Pod is back in 2025 in video form. This can also be enjoyed as an audio podcast.

There will be various features and segments included over time with no set schedule.
